Tweedledee: But, your poem... It's just a bunch of words.
Tweedledum: Aren't they all?
I write for the remaining few who still like to read.
The point of esotericism is to confound people who don't like to read or think, who believe
that everything should be simple, that they should be able to understand it at a glance.
Esoteric poetry is intended to be understood only by intelligent people who make an effort.
Interviewer: Some people say they can't understand your writing, even after
they read it two or three times. What approach would you suggest for them?
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
